Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball. It's our dumber three. Our number three is ready
to go, and the Dodgers paid a visit to sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. Should the Dodgers star Mookie Betts and
manager Dave Roberts have skipped the White House visit all together,
both critics to President Trump. Also with social media fan
(00:22):
backlash of the Dodgers alienated a significant portion of their
fan base by going to the White House. Some Wokesters
are very upset by that. And in baseball news outside
of the White House trip. Is Adam Ottavino right that
it's cool to hate the Yankees? Or is he just
stirring the pot talking about those torpedo bats. We'll talk
(00:44):
about all that and more. Buckle up, it's our number three.
From the Diamond to the Oval Office. Yeah, welcome, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Ma Show.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
As we crowd around the magic audio box for some
steamy and dreamy conversation coast to coast, border to voter
and beyond on the mast and spiffingly powerful microphones of
fsre emminating live live from the dust the sawdust joined
(01:25):
of audio banter as we are broadcasting live from the
tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stalls and
oh Ford in Dallas that used to call the show
loves that number ten thousand Tiraq dot com the way
(01:48):
tire buying should be. I know we have not heard
from Chitchat Charlie. He has not called the show today,
so he must have got in trouble Chitchat Charlie from
his mom for calling the show. That's my idea. Anyway,
our lead this hour is from sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue,
(02:08):
the People's House that is better known by many as
the White House. Of course, it used to be the
People's House, and over the years they've added layers and
layers and layers of security. But the big Blue Wrecking
Crew made an appearance. And this is a story. It's
been a story for the last ten years. So do
you go? Do you not go? Is it a big deal?
(02:29):
Is it a little deal? Is it no deal? So
the Dodgers, if you didn't see this, maybe not. Donald
Trump welcomed the reigning champions of Baseball. The Dodgers, and
both Mookie Bets and Dave Roberts made the trek from
the team hotel in DC where they're playing, and they
lost to the Natitudes on Monday night. But before that,
(02:53):
during the day, the Dodgers made a trip over to
the White House and they hung out with President. Now
Dave Roberts and Mookie Bets were there. Why does that matter?
Why is that relevant? Well, the reason it's relevant, let
me explain. You had Dave Roberts, who had hinted way
back in twenty nineteen. I barely remember that that was
pre pandemic. He said that he would skip a Trump
(03:16):
White House trip. He now this time around called it
a great honor. But five years ago or six years ago,
is I probably skip it? You know, probably skip it.
Then you add Mookie Betts, the former MVP Mookie Bets,
who also when he had a chance, he actually had
a chance that the Dodgers played the Red Sox in
(03:38):
the World Series in twenty twenty eighteen, and the Red
Sox won that and so the Dodgers didn't get to
go to the White House, but Mookie Bets did have
a chance to go to the Trump White House and
he skipped out on it. He didn't show up in
an act of defiance, and he was there. The Dodgers
showed up and Mookie was there. He said, it's not
(03:58):
about it's not about him. It's about team unity. It's
not about politics or anything like that. And so he
admitted that he regretted, he regretted his past boycott that
stole the spotlight. All right, so let us discuss the question.
Should the Dodgers, Mookie Betts, and Dave Roberts have skipped
(04:20):
the White House visit all together? Because there are these
deep think pieces out there. Oh, they shouldn't have shown
up this time. It's a bad job. They showed up.
They're cowards. They caved in. Right, that's the line of thinking.
I'm paraphrasing, but that's the line of thinking. So I've
got plexico buffet and evangelizing, and we will combine all
(04:42):
of these things together, and we are going to have
some Baba ganoosh. We're gonna make the baba ganoosh. Get
the eggplant ready, We're gonna make the baba.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
First of all, after eight minutes long Mallard deliberation, as
the judge jury and executioner. I have made my ruling,
and the ruling is motion denied for those that are complaining.
After the fact that Mookie Bets and Dave Roberts showed
up to the White House, in fact, I think you
(05:16):
should congratulate, although I feel a little weird congratulating someone
for doing something they're supposed to do. Anyway, I know
you don't have to do it, but it's a good
job they didn't act like Mama Luke's Dave Roberts and
the Mookie Bets. And you're not required. It's not like
you have to be there. You don't have to be there.
But by not going, as Mookie Ben's referenced, you make
(05:39):
it all about you, right, you become the story. It's
like I do a TV show during football season with
a guy that makes it all about him, right, And
so I know people, I know people in my world
that make it all about them, and I want to
punch them right in the nose. Those people, right, I
don't want to punch them. Right, it's not about you.
It's not all about you and all that stuff. And
(05:59):
so it's good, you know, Mookie said, it's not it's
about unity with the team and all that, not about
politics and all that, And fine, now I do understand
this is a generational situation. I get it like I
was of the generation that was raised that to hang
out at the White House, that's a great honor, you know,
no matter whether you agree with the politics at the
(06:20):
time or not. Politics change, but you have the opportunity
to go hang out with the president. You want to
do that. And the professional sports industry, I know other
generations don't feel that way, but the professional sports industry,
they took a hit when they were all up in
arms over Trump the first administration of President Trump. And
(06:42):
the real moment where the thing flipped was when the
NBA had all those woke slogans on their uniforms and
then in the in the bubble or that cheesy bubble
in Orlando, and they were bleeding some money there, right,
They lost a lot of television audience. People were up
in arms, and Adam Silver made sure the following season,
(07:05):
let's get rid of all of that. No slogans on
the courts, no slogans on the uniform, get rid of everything.
And the reason he did it was because of money. Right,
everything's done by money. They were losing money they thought
they were on the right side of everything and that
business would be booming and all that stuff. But as
an industry, the industrial complex of professional sports, it's like, hey, listen,
(07:26):
lesson learned. Okay, let's not pull a Plexico Burus our
teammate here at Fox Sports rad Let's not shoot ourselves
in the leg. Let's not have some self sabotage here.
Keep the shrapnel away, no self inflicted wounds. So you
show up, you put on a happy face. There, you smile,
you get out of there. And of course, in these times,
(07:47):
people get up in arms about that. Anyway, there's no
easy way to go about this, and so the ratings
wobbled back then and some people flinched and all that.
But now, secondly, so I already saw a couple of
stories about the Dodgers visiting the White House on Monday,
and the sentiment is like, well, there's a lot of
(08:08):
backlash on social media. People are up in arms. And
so the question was asked, have the Dodgers alienated a
significant portion of their fan base by going to the
White House? And I'm shaking my head. No, you can't see,
but I'm passionately shaking my head.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Not just I'm going really fast, I'm shaking my head. No,
I'm gonna get dizzy if I keep shaking my head. No.
But this is one of those contrived stories. And this
is a pet peeve of mine. And since I have
the soapbox and I've got the bully pulpit, I can
rant about what's a pet peeve. Contrived stories in the
media for a thousand, contrived stories in the media for
(08:46):
one thousands. So the Dodgers showed up, they took a photo,
and they gave the President of Jersey. That's the normal
thing you do. Those are all boilerplate things to do
that you know by numbers, paint by numbers. This is
tradition that goes back to the eighteen hundreds. Okay, this
is not something that started forty years ago or fifty
(09:08):
years ago. This goes back to the eighteen hundreds. The
social media backlash story is bullshoy. It's also floating on
the lazy river, is what it is. Let me explain why.
As you know, social media is the matrix. It's not real.
It's the wild wild West social media. And if you
scroll through it long enough, I promise, if you scroll
(09:30):
through it long enough, you will find someone arguing on
any side of any issue, even the most ridiculous position.
You will find, whether it's real or a bot something,
something that is arguing with what is universally thought of
as the right position. Where there's no argument, you'll find
(09:53):
someone on the other side. So think of it. If
you're in the media business. Okay, if you're in the
media business and you haven't a and your agenda is
to present an issue a certain way, it's in court
they call it lying, bio mission or selective editing. In
this case right selective editing. So it's an all you
(10:14):
can eat buffet social media of confirmation bias, and you
can pick whatever suits the agenda that you would like
to have on your plate. Whatever fits that agenda, you
just take that out of the buffet. It's like, yeah,
I feel like a spaghetti today. I'll have the spaghetti,
but I don't want the spaghetti. I want the chicken fingers. Okay,
I don't you know. I don't want the chicken fingers,
(10:35):
so I'm gonna get the cheeseburgers. But the cheeseburgers aren't
that warm, so I'm not gonna do the cheeseburger. So
I'll do the turkey and just pick what you want.
And the social networks, as we know, they amplify controversy
like someone complaining about a trip to the White House,
Oh my god, because it gets engagement. It's people worked
(10:55):
up into a lather and get worked up into a tizzy.
And the algorithms, the evil algorithms that they sing the loudest.
They sing the loudest, the algorithms, and go on and on,
and the divisive, the more divisive of the argument, the
better it does with the algorithm. Now, I am sure
there are some activists out there that are very upset
(11:19):
and are burning in effigy there dodger merchandise and all
that stuff up in arms these activists, but they're the
same people that get worked up into a lather about everything.
And the great thing about the times we live in
today is that these stories only last twenty four hours anyway,
So it's not even twenty four hours. It's more like
a ten hour cycle. It's about a ten hour cycle,
(11:41):
So bad publicity for about ten hours. And what I
have learned from my many travels doing the show and
going around and meeting you at various points across the
United States doing Mallard meet and greets. In May, we're
going to be in Canada. But what I have learned,
what I have learned from doing this show is that
the vast majority are not engaged politically. You're just not
(12:05):
in He said, Oh that's not true. Well, from going
out boots on the ground, most of the people I
come across are disengaged, indifferent, or if they're in the politics,
it's only when the election's going on. And I don't
really care about it other than that. And that's about
it all right now, final thought, We head to the
(12:26):
Bronx Zoo. We go to the Bronx Zoo. That is
where veteran relief pitcher Adam Ottavino. This guy's bounced around.
He's played for a bunch of teams. So he's on
the Yankees now and he chimed in on the story
of stories to begin the baseball season. You see that
Adam Otavino believes the Yankees reputation, the Yankee reputation is
(12:50):
doing more than anything else to amplify the conversation regarding
the tarpaiedo. The tarpedo bats fire the torpedoes, right, he said,
quote says, I mean listen. First of all, it's the Yankees,
and they scored a million runs the first few games,
(13:10):
and it's cool to hate the Yankees, and it's cool
to look for the Boogeyman, and that's what some people
are going to do and can't really stop that. Adam Anovito,
who's a generic, nondescript right handed relief pitcher who famously
said he could strike out Babe Ruth and people said,
who's that guy? Yeah, he said, there's a lot of
(13:31):
misinformation and non education on it. Too close quote, So
is Adam Anovino, generic major league baseball relief pitcher who
happens to play in the Pinstripes. Is he correct that
it's cool to hate the Yankees or is he just
stirring the pot. He's just sucking up to Yankee fans,
(13:53):
sucking up to the base the electorate. So I'm gonna
go with answers all of the above. I'm gonna go
with all of you. But now, it's fun to poke
the Bronx bombers. It's also fun to stir the pot.
Like both those, and you get a talk show. It's
fun to stir the pot. This job is great, and
if you're a baseball player, and you can stir the
pot even better. But Adam Anovino is a generic relief
(14:18):
picture dim a dozen. But really he's evangelizing the gospel.
He's evangelizing the God. The Yankees hate in this particular
story is unwarranted. Now, Cooper Loop was not here. He
freaked out. He was convinced that these torpedo bats were
gonna ruin the record book and all that. And I
rolled my eyes at that, and I know Spaccoli got
(14:40):
upset with me. I can't believe you're taking that position.
So some of my foot soldiers, some of my boots
that are very important in the Mala militia, some of
my senior bringing your general. We're complaining. But the point
and out of Youno mentioned this the picture. These torpedo
bats are A they're not new, and B it's not
(15:03):
the Yankees that are the only ones that use them.
They are custom made. They're tailor made per hitter, and
they're not unique with the Yankees that everyone in baseball
has access to the torpedo bat. Because the way it
works these bat companies, they have people that come to
the locker rooms and say, okay, we we're in the
business of selling bats and you have to pay for
(15:27):
the bats. Here's what we have and here's how much
it costs and payoff. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show.

join us right now at eight seven seven ninety nine

three sixty nine if you'd like to be part time.

I'm gonna con as soon as I can find HR.
I'm gonna contact HR and complain. I came in here
and that no, that loser. Jason Smith and Harmon. It
was like ninety degrees in here. Who the f wants
to work in a ninety degree studio? What kind of loser? Yeah,
(25:18):
you have body odor. I mean, what kind of nonsense
is that? That's gotta be Jason Harmon. I'm no Harmon
wants a cold studio. I want the kind of studio
to be like the Morgue. I want to walk in
there and it's like you're trying to preserve bodies. That's
how cold I want the studio when I work. And
I remember not years ago when I visited my brother
(25:38):
in New York and we were online outside the Ed
Sullivan Theater to see back when David Letterman was a
big show and people used to watch late night TV.
So we were online for the Letterman Show and we
got bumped. We didn't get in to see the show. However,
when we were getting bumped out of the line, we
walked through the lobby at the edge of the theater
(26:00):
and it was an ice box and it was like, great,
And that's how he did the show. It was wonderful.
He was ready to deserve it.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Horrible.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
No, it's so great.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Imagine you're in a little mini black dress and heels
and you go in freezing goosebumps everywhere.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I didn't. I didn't wear a little black dress. That's
so I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
About us iron deficient babes.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, take some iron supplements. It was wonderful and I
didn't get to sit there, but it was great. And
I come in here it's like ninety degrees and like,
what are you doing there? I mean. One of the
cool things about this the old studio. Somebody had knocked
the air conditioning the thing on the wall off the wall,
and so they replaced it. And they had a fixed

anybody can make that? Well yeah, well, of course, I
mean anything like I've fussed around in the kitchen, like
pretty much anything is not that hard to make, right,
There's only certain things that are hard to make. You
know what's easy to make. Peanut butter brittle. Peanut brittle
is very easy to make, and it's delicious. It's bad
for you, but it's much it's much more convenient to
(28:29):
just go buy it at the store.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Well, yeah, here's the thing, like other stable for most
of may A doll life, pretty much all of it.
And if you can make that stuff for disabled people
like it makes them so happy. Like I'm watching Love
